What's he like in person?City staff eh? My brother is a City Tour guide, so if that counts, I see him loads of times.

He's a massive City fan, been following them for 50 years.

Georgi Kinkladze at a burger van in Wilmslow at 2am a long time ago after he left City... He was with Richard Wright who was then at Everton. I asked him what he was doing and he said.
"I'm training with Man U" I was mortified and said "You wouldn't do that would you?" He smiled and said "I'm training with Derby really" !
I had had a few and said "My son loves you and named his hamster after you!" Bizarre thinking back on it now.

Celebrated my Dad's 60th at The Four Seasons late 90's, about 30 of us, all Blues. Turns out most of the Rag squad were in there having a few sherberts. Nicky Summerbee, Gio and a couple of other City players were in there as well. As the beers flowed, our attentions turned to winding the fuck out of the family man and Nicky Butt. Nicky Summerbee was merciless, so much so we all ended up outside, Giggs telling Buzzer Jnr to calm the fuck down and Butt getting all Danny Dyer, until his mates told him not to get involved. So he took it out on a passing taxi, booted the door and the rest is 'istory..
Same night, Cuntona sent a drink over to my sister which she refused and sent the waiter back with the message, "sorry, I don't drink with the likes of you"..
Happy days..

Not counting corporate do's or supporters club events:
I met Joe Royle at his house as a kid - and support City as a result.
Played footy in a charity match against Asa Hartford. We lost
Brown and the Edgehills on the lash around Withington - they later threatened my mate who gave them some grief about how quickly after a crap performance they were in the pub.
In fact - when out of the team, Brown regularly got out of the lift in the Kippax to collect a tray of pies at half time. Demonstrating our dazzling wit, we used to greet him as "pie boy" which clearly annoyed him. My old boss knows him now as their kids go to the same school in Alderley and hes worth millions.
Clive Allen after a pre-season game at Hyde. I was terrified he'd leave as Reid didn't rate him. Said he wouldn't - but did.
Weaver pissed up more than once. In Alty and Cheadle.
Buster Phillips pissed up - looked too young to have got served.
Good chat with Paul Lake - bizarrely sat outside the Kippax in the dark - at a leaving do for the Commercial Manager.
Delivered a mobile phone to Bernstein when we supplied City.
Berkovic in the food hall at the TC.
Dzeko in Tiffanys in town. I suspect he wasnt in there to check the items under £150 section as I.
Any Morrison in reception at work. Walked past him and had to check back. My old boss knows him too.
Not directly City - but Sam Allardyce (Bolton) was on the same flight as us once - sent the kids, both in City kits over to thank him for the 6 points the previous season. He was a laugh with them.

Adrian Heath running from Platt lane training ground to Maine Road on Yew Tree road - I said hello and good luck for the next game and he said 'thanks' I nearly shit my pants when he replied lol. Nial Quinn in an Irish Association club and a pint of guiness - I was rather drunk at the time so memories a bit dim.
Recently Gael Clichy at Piccadilly train station - he was getting on a virgin train to London (he was injured at the time so not playing). Bacary Sagna in a cake shop in Moston.
